'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Mr. Boddington’s friends at Penguin didn’t have to ask twice to illustrate this ultimate holiday tale. Full of wit and charming treasures, Mr. Boddington takes Moore’s classic poem and places the story in a modern city. Families from Rio to Shanghai to Paris to Brooklyn will delight in flipping through the book, hopefully with a plate of sugar cookies.

Ideal for: anyone who finds the holidays quite magical

Fine print: Hardcover, published by Penguin, written by Clement Clarke Moore
